You will need 2 equations, since there are 2 variables (hours worked by George and the ones of Dorothy), let's say x and y respectively

We know
x+y=48 (since they work 48 hours together) and
12x+11.25y=555 (since the sum of their respective hours multiplied by their salary gives a total of 555$)

To solve that, you can isolate either one of the variables and replace it in the second formula, for example:

x+y=48, therefore x=(48-y)
<span>Substitute x in 12x+11.25y=555 and solve for y (to find Dorothy's hours)
</span><span>12(48-y)+11.25y=555
</span>576-12y+11.25y=555
21=0.75y
y=28

Answer:

Let coordinates of vertex D be (x,y)

In parallelogram diagonals are bisect each other.

∴ Mid-point of AC= Mid-point of BD

⇒ (

3+(−6)

,

2

−4+2

)=(

2

−1+x

,

2

−3+y

)

⇒ (

2

)=(

2

−1+x

,

2

−3+y

)

⇒ (

2

−3

,−1)=(

2

−1+x

,

2

−3+y

)

Now,

⇒

2

−3

=

2

−1+x

⇒ −6=−2+2x

⇒ −4=2x

∴ x=−2

⇒ −1=

2

−3+y

⇒ −2=−3+y

⇒ 1=y

∴ y=1

∴ Coordinates of vertex D is (−2,1)

What numbers multiply to give me 12 but add to give me -7
romanna [79]

Answer:

-4 and -3

A negative times a negative results to a positive number, but when two negative numbers are added to each other, it still results to a negative number.

Hope I helped!

Help ASAP and explain why!!!

Answer:

c. Side-Angle-Side

Step-by-step explanation:

Two sides (AB and AC) and an included angle (<BAC) in triangle ∆ABC are congruent to two corresponding sides (AD and AC) and an included corresponding angle (<DAC) in ∆ADC.

Therefore, by the SAS Congruence Theorem, both triangles are congruent.
